Catalan are rumoured to be interested but they would have to stump up a large fee as he is contract untill 2026.

It will be interesting to see how Gannon comes back, he's got a whole season to train and bulk up. I've always been a big fan, if he can put the concussions behind him and comeback as a real bruiser he could be a huge asset.

He's been a big loss. Huge talent imo.

Martin might just end up being a casualty of other recruitment decisions being poor. He brings a lot - speed, consistency and goal kicking - but what we desperately lack in the pack is the one thing he doesn't bring, which is physical presence. I can't see us getting the sort of big boppers we need in England so we may have to sacrifice him to free up a quota spot.

RS saying today Martin has been offered a deal - it's something Blease will be sorting from next week onwards so he's yet to take it as it stands.

Plenty of 'irreplaceable' players left Salford under Blease and they managed to find replacements that were more than able. We shouldn't pay over the odds to keep Martin, as much as it would be nice for him to stay. The pack needs major surgery and his departure could open doors to signings that will make a real difference.
